2-Non-Collusion Affidavit.pdf

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit document related to the Lanta (Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority) RFP for Pension Investment Management and Custodial Services in Pennsylvania. The RFP seeks proposals for investment management and administration services for both the Union Pension Plan (approximately $37.6 million in assets with 410 participants) and the Non-Union Pension Plan (approximately $10.8 million in assets with 120 participants). Proposals must include a qualified provider for both investment management and custodial/trustee services; proposals addressing only one service will be deemed non-responsive. The proposal submission deadline is August 7, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. through the PennBid process. LANTA anticipates selecting proposers for interviews and presentations in September 2026, with contract award targeted for October 2026. The selected provider will enter into a five-year contract term with LANTA.

The affidavit serves as a required compliance document affirming the absence of collusion among bidders. All proposals must be submitted on the forms provided in the RFP packet and must acknowledge compliance with applicable state and federal laws. LANTA reserves the right to postpone, accept, reject, or waive any informalities in proposals as deemed in its best interest, and may seek clarification from any proposer. Individuals or entities listed as ineligible contractors for federally assisted projects are not eligible to propose. All questions from proposers must be submitted through the PennBid process, and LANTA will respond only to questions submitted through this channel.
